What Building Energy Rating can a SIP home achieve?
SIP Energy homes can easily achieve an A-rating. To understand how, we must understand BER itself. The BER is a calculation which takes into account the performance of items such as: the building components (SIP panels, windows, doors, etc), the quality of on-site detailing (airtightness), heat sources (e.g. solar, gas, wood pellet, oil, electric, etc), design (e.g. lots of glass, or big windows) as well as geographical and topographical details (location relative to the sea, exposure to prevailing wind), and combines all these factors to come up with an Energy Rating for the building in it’s entirety. SIP Energy homes make a substantial contribution to your home achieving high-energy rating.
